About the event

Due to popular demand, we’ve scheduled an early boat party in May 2026 so you can make the most of London’s beautiful spring days! With longer daylight hours, plenty of sunshine, and stunning views of the city, this is the perfect time to enjoy a unique experience while cruising down the Thames.

We’re bringing together up to 240 singles for an unforgettable afternoon aboard the Golden Flame. With a guaranteed 50:50 male-to-female ratio, it’s the ultimate opportunity to meet new people in a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

This three-hour daytime cruise is all about connection and fun, starting with our popular lock and key icebreaker. This playful activity ensures you’ll meet loads of people as you search for the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).

The Golden Flame's spacious sun deck is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine, sip on a refreshing drink from the bar, and take in breathtaking views of the city.

So why not get on the Love Boat? Join us for an afternoon of mingling, laughter, and new connections. You’re sure to meet some amazing people and create memories you’ll never forget!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating London lies in its no-nonsense approach. You take an equal number of single girls and guys, put them in a room and give them a few minutes to chat with every other member of the opposite sex.

When you get there

Original speed dating events in London normally begin at 7.30pm. You will need to register with our hosts and to begin with they will issue you with a score sheet. This will help you to keep track of the singles that you would like to meet again and perhaps go on a date with. After a short period of mingling, your host for the evening who will run through detailed instructions and give you your starting position if you are a guy or table for the event if you are a girl.

Meet & Mingle

A London speed dating event is split into two halves, each lasting around an hour, there will be an interval at half time of about 15 minutes for speed dating London. You will have between 4 and 5 minutes with each person, after which you need to tick a box on your score sheet - "yes, I would like to meet this person again" or "no. Thanks but no thanks". Or "friend" if you'd like to get to know them platonically. Make sure that you do this after each date to keep track. Afterwards there is an opportunity for everyone to meet and mingle informally - this is often where the real action begins, so make sure you don't disappear too quickly!

Complete your score sheet

After the event you simply tick who you liked on the Original Dating website and the site works about your matches automatically. If the dates you have ticked as a "yes" have reciprocated you have a match. You will be able to view the first names and message them via our site online without revealing your email address until you are ready to. You'll be having proper first dates in no time.
